| and who, at this part of the race, con-
tributed no little to the successful work
ing of the Pauline by the promptness
with which he executed the oft-repeated
orders to "bail her out" The Pauline
turned the Waikiki stakeboat two min
utes and ten seconds ahead of the larger
and better equipped immediate competi-
tor, the Vandalia, the Nellie turning
third and last. In the run for the lee
ward stakeboat off the Quarantine
Grounds, the yachts were assisted on
ward by succession of heavy rain and
wind squalls, which often hid them
from view. In this run the Vandalia's
fying-jib and topsail came into good
service, the extra sail drawing well, and
the Pauline was caught up with and
passed "hand over hand" The Nellie,
too, in the leeward run, made up con-
siderable lost ground, and on bracing up
for hOmeWard run, the distances between
the boats were narrowed considerably.
The yachts finally passed the judges
boat at the finish in the following order
and time Vardalia, Oh. % min. % sec. !;

In this race, after the boats got along
side the Judges stand, objections were
made against the Red White and Blue,
Pualii and Puuloa, and the race was
rowed between the Daisy, Margaret
Heald and Vandalia But little trouble
was had in getting the boats away, but
the Margaret Head crew catching the
water first, made lead which was,
however, quickly taken away by the
Daisy, the Vandalia close on. At the
lighthouse the Vandalia closed up and
passed the Margaret Head, and in the
rough water off the spar buoy crawled to
the front and turned the stake first on
the return. Coming in the channel the
Daisy crew quickened up to a squirt, but
the Vandalias responded and came back
to the start, in the lead, in 23min. 27sec. );
the Daisy second in 26min. 9sec.

Unknown, H. BINS. Conquest; Homai,
Iolani
The boats entered were regarded as
pretty evenly matched, the favorite, if
any, being the crew from H. B. NJ
Conquest which pulled the Unknown.
At little past II o'clock the start was
made, the Unknown taking the lead and
at the lighthouse opening out three
lengths of clear water between her and
the Homia. Captain Robert Parker,
who handled the steering oar in the lat
ter boat, seemed to have a satisfied look
although his boat was behind, and on
reaching the Bell buoy he induced his
crew to ply the oars in lively manner
and passed his antagonist before reach
ing the Spar buoy on their return. The
race home was at lively pace and the
Homai won in 81 :48, the Unknown %
seconds later.
